    I don't know what (if anything) would make Atmonauti NOT freeflying. But if we have expressions to describe flying with our heads or feet pointing at the ground, why not have another one for the ~45° angle? I know when I invent a cool new freefly position, I'll definitely give it a fancy name and use it everywhere, just to annoy people.:P



    naming positions could become the latest thing.

    I've decided that my particular tracking position is called "Floupickti" :S

  7. If Freeflying is the act of flying your body in any (non-traditional) position, then what makes Atmonauti NOT freeflying and therefore worthy of its own (stupid) name?

    I've seen freeflyers fly at all kinds of angles. Its still called freeflying.
    Is it a specific angle like if your torso is exactly at 41 degrees up from parallel to the ground and your head is turned slightly to the left then its Atmonauti?

    Can someone hit me if I use that word again?

    Oh no... we are not back to this conversation again are we?



    Hey, there's lots of newbies here who have no idea how important zip ties are. I felt it was important to educate them.

    Zip tie tip - Don't use the really thin ones as handcuffs. And keep a pair of scissors handy in case of fire.



    I'm 100% with you, Bytch.
    Well, except for the Snoop Dog adjectives.

    zipties ROCK! I personally have 3 different sizes on hand in large numbers to meet all my different tie needs. B|B|

    I'd say more but I have a strong urge to go fasten some thing to some other thing ;)

  12. You forgot something rather obvious.

    Hello??? Ever heard of oatmeal???!!?? Hello???

    ;);)

    I like Quaker oatmeal. I add a couple spoonfuls of brown sugar.
    I load up on it an hour before lifting. Every day. Keeps me goin.
    My cholesterol is 170 too B|B|B|

  13. The Otter and Skyvan wil be returning to Cross Keys in April.

    Cant wait.
    The Caravan and Porter are super cool compared to the Cessnas I was used to before I started jumping at CK, but I cant wait to try out the even cooler planes :-)

    Still have 6 weeks or so to go...

    Reading another post in another forum, i see (AND I HOPE I'M WRONG) that we have a jumper with 50-100 jumps with a new canopy with a wing loading of 1.35 WTF! >:(.

    I can only hope that their profile isn't updated.



    I'm sure once the person in question reads your useful posting they will straighten right up and buy a bigger canopy.
    Especially that big helpful "WTF" at the end. That'll get their ass right in gear!
    Thank god for your thoughtful posting! You may have saved a life today ;)

    I believe that god doesnt exsist. Isnt it odd how many will cling to what believers write...and cannot make up their own brain-washed minds?:P



    Clearly anyone that doesnt believe in nothing, as you do, is brainwashed.
    Why cant they see that???!?!

  16. I jump a Sabre2 210 loaded at 1.1:1
    and I have no end cell closure issues at all.

    I pro-pack and leave the nose hanging in the middle. I dont push it in. I dont spread it out. I dont do anything to it at all.

    I have exellent openings 600-700 ft and on heading. Occasionally off heading by 10 - 15 degrees at the most.

    If HE made it up, then maybe



    He tried to make it look like this was the standard position of Muslims. Deception by omission.



    I totally agree with PhillyKev. He is right on.

    Actually I'm just trying to get back in his signiture ;)

  20. You need mini-rings and type 17 risers to pull the slider down over them.

    If you have the larger rings and risers like I do, you cant pull the slider down.
    I just collapse mine and pull the rear slider grommets over the top of the rear risers to keep the slider quiet B|

    And, yes, saying "Cuz I said so" is good enough once you've made the decision.



    Absolutely. I have no problem using that method when necessary. I just find that life is easier for all concerned if I actually have him on my side so I usually try that approach first. If there is no joy, then the big foot comes down.

  22. All,

    I'm looking for a source where I might compare safety
    ratings of different vehicles.

    My son is looking for his first car. As a 16 year old male he of course wants something fast and cool.
    Well frankly, I see no difference between allowing that and letting a 20 jump wonder buy a Katana or some other high performance canopy.

    One thing I dont want to do is say "Cuz I said so." when he demands to know why he cant buy some hot rod so I'm looking for some hard data that will show
    not only how safe a vehicle is in a collision but also
    how likely one is to be in a collision in the first place if driven by someone with little or no experience.
    I need comparisons between many options including the fast cool cars. :-)

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?


    Cheers,

    Chris
